    Gonna restore this old Globe slicer

    Finding that there was no earthly way I could get a decent meat slicer that is less than 30 years old, I've been checking craigslist on and off and this weekend found what I was looking for. A lady posted this old Globe that she was afraid to even plug in. I ended up giving her $25 for it...

    Where does your smoker live?

    As I near completion on my RF behemoth, I am trying to figure out how to house her. I've been thinking about putting up some kind of "grillzebo", possibly just a roof perched on a few 4x4 posts. I'll have the big girl, a MES, and a Weber kettle in there, so I want to have some room. I was...

    Breaking in the new MES with a Brisket

    Having a brand new MES at the house has had me going crazy wanting to smoke some flesh. So I got the brisket out of the freezer from the half beef we ordered and I've got it in there. I also threw in a tiny tri-tip from the same beef order just to see how that goes. I did a really simple rub...

    Like Christmas in November

    A couple weeks ago I entered a contest through a local radio station for a chance to win a brand new MES. And lo and behold, I won! Then yesterday I got a cal from my wife that the UPS man showed up with my winnings. Strange thing was, there were TWO smokers! I called the company and was told...

    It is Begun! My First Smoker Build

    After doing a whole lot of research, planning, re-planning, un-re-planning, and general head-scratching, I have begun my smoker build project. Thanks to my brother in law having a number of well placed local contacts, we were able to practically steal the 1/4" plate, plasma cut to my design...

    Rookie in the planning stages... Any guidance?

    Gents, I have been scouring the forums for weeks now looking for info, tips, insight, whatever I can find regarding designing my smoker. I figured I might as well post up my specs here and let you guys shoot holes in my design so I can make it bulletproof. For background, my brother-in-law...

    10lbs of loin and a mess o' beans (heavy Q-View)

    Been feeling wistful for a smoke, so I decided to pick up a loin and make magic with it this weekend.  The loin was about 10lbs and I decided to cut it in half and do two different flavors.  For one half I used an authentic Jamaican jerk pork recipe minus the hot peppers (feeding this to 6 yer...

    The journey to pit-master begins...

    Hello all! I'm still relatively new to smoking, been at it for a little over a year now.  I'm originally from Northern Indiana and it's where I still hang my hat.  My cooker is pretty simple, I have a char-griller with SFB.  I have done a few mods to it, including extending the smokestack down...

    My first brisket attempt - With Q-View

    With much assistance from my searches on these forums, I attempted my first beef smoke this past weekend.  I got about a 10 lb full brisket and put on a bit of dry rub I had lying around left over from some ribs I did a while back. I smoked it overnight, throwing in hickory and mesquite...
